Bangladesh@GoldCoast CommonwealthGames18

[DinRaat.]

A thread for the Commonwealth games.

Anyone see that opening ceremony, what rubbish, always some link back to the Aboriginal race, complete garbage.

Can't believe people payed money to see some dude on welfare blow a horn.

With out history how you gonna shape up future? How you gonna fix the mistakes?

Might is NOT right.

I think you have 2 invest in their culture.
But no matter whats done doesn't = change in the aboriginal community.
My book is on their culture even tho I am not aboriginal.
Is their people fixed if every barrier is broken down no.
Comes down to maturation of their people.
So I can see both points.

Now let us bt the Brits.

Wow, okay... So celebrating Australia's first nation's culture is "rubbish"? Ever wondered why they are on welfare? There's been systematic oppression and racism against Australia's Indigenous population. They had their country invaded, they experienced genocide, they weren't even considered human until 1967--before that, they were regulated under the Flora and Fauna Act--they experienced the stolen generation, had aspects of their culture, religion and language eradicated; surely it is about time we give them the respect they deserve.

I thought it was wonderful seeing Australian Aboriginal culture being represented on the world stage.


Anyway, Bangladesh won Silver in the 10m air rifle
Australia received Gold and India got Bronze.

I agree with those past problems happening.No doubt.
But bandaids,Money or grand gestures don't work.
Its all about empowerment.

Baki had won silver in the last Commonwealth Games too. This time very narrowly missed out on Gold. We should invest more in Shooting. The only sport we ever have any hope of bringing an Olympic Medal in!

Congrats Baki . You did Bangladesh 🇧🇩 proud.

Asif was an amazing shooter. Sadly some police destroyed his career after assaulting him. He beat the Indian Gold Olympic shooter.

InshahAllah I hope we get a shooter who will bring back some Olympic medals

[Antora]

Bangladesh received another silver today. This time in the men’s 50 m pistol event 🇧🇩

Thank you, Antora dadi amma and everyone for the updates!
Viva Baki bhai! All my childhood, I read at all my neighborhood bodegas, mudi-er dukan - 'Baki chahiya Lojja Diben Naa" - "Baki-er opor naam Faaki" - "No Credit, CASH Only!"

But today, the word Baki sounds swweeet!

We, Banglar Damaal Meye o Chhele-ra are always great in rifle/pistol competitive sport shooting. We have the calm nerve for it.
Mash Allah! Viva Bangladesh!

Mitchell Starcs' brother won gold,in longjump,if memory permits that is his pursuit.
